Awesome!

My fiance and me had a great stay. The receptionists were all lovely and competent, just like Saul and the other servants at breakfast! The appartement was awesome too. I can totally recommend to stay there, we also ate some good steaks and had some fine wines there!

Best Experience Ever

Stayed this beautiful hotel in North Dublin 2 weeks ago for 1 night and ended up staying 3 more nights, the experience was so good….and then went back this week for 2 nights.. both times our stay was just unbelievably good. First of all the staff and the front desk , Mirko, Vigay, Yana, and Gustavo, could not do enough for us. They were kind, very obliging, sorted out any little minor thing we needed, quickly and efficiently… and were extremely professional… (one of the reasons we will definitely book this hotel again.. Bar and Restaurant: Food excellent as well as staff and a welcoming atmosphere.. Breakfast Again food excellent, huge choice of breakfast items from porridge smoothies and cereals to hot items such as a full irish.. and the restaurant supervisor was very friendly and accommodating (no queues) and the serving staff the same.. Room Very clean and the bed was very comfortable as we had a great sleep every time. The bathroom and shower great as well.. Gym Small but had everything to work every muscle group.. Situated in a beautiful area, you have the seafront, St Annes Park (long walk) , Fairview park all walking distance from the Hotel. Also in Clontarf Village there are loads of artisan shops and a lot of very good restaurants all serving Italian, Thai , Bar food and Carveries. We will be back!

First visit to Ireland

My wife and I came here for our honeymoon after getting married and had a wonderful stay. The attention and warm welcome we received from Mirko from the front desk was delightful. Breakfast was delicious and was very well taken care of by Leandro and his staff. Never felt rushed even if we arrived right before they closed. Knights Bar was nice and cozy and food was marvelous. Thank you guys for an amazing experience at this wonderful castle hotel.

Superb

On arrival at the hotel ( my wife and I ) were greeted by a very professional and very helpful gentleman receptionist who showed all his experience of dealing with customers. The ambiance in the foyer was great with a large fire glowing in the fireplace. Our room on the third floor was bright, clean and warm. We dined in the Knights bar and Elaine and the staff couldn’t have been better. The food was superb. The interior of the hotel is fantastic with so much to catch the eye. We had breakfast in the Fahrenheit restaurant and again the staff members were superb and the breakfast delicious. This was definitely one of our best hotel stays ever. From start to finish our visit to Clontarf Castle hotel was excellent. Highly recommended.

Good but not perfect

Our stay at Clontarf Castle was good but not perfect. I perhaps had to high an expectation after staying in Castle Leslie. The location was disappointing in the middle of lots of houses I had imagined Castle with wonderful grounds. I read reviews but my own fault I didn’t do more research. We booked in all very easy and friendly. We had booked bed breakfast and dinner with wine and chocolate in room. However when we got to our attic (4th floor) room no wine or chocolate. After a long journey and hold ups we decided to go to Knights bar for hopefully a sandwich. It was busy but still free tables, lots of staff but not great service. No sandwich! Room had a a glass bathroom door which I personally don’t like. Room was freezing however maintenance did attend twice and got it sorted. Our wine and chocolate did arrive after I asked. Just all these little lapses made me wish I had gone to spend my 320 euro somewhere else.

Another Great Visit.

I just got back from another great stay at Clontarf Castle, my go-to hotel in Dublin. It's tucked in a lovely, safe spot just outside the city with plenty of easy parking just outside the door. I've stayed here many times, but this is my first review. Check-in with a friendly young lady from Ukraine was really smooth, thank you for the warm welcome after a complicated flight it was so nice to have such a pleasant check in, and the very helpful chap at checkout made everything effortless. Despite the chilly, wet weather, the hotel felt cozy and the inviting—rooms were spotless as always, beds nice and firm, and housekeeping was quick with extra towels and big smiles. Breakfast was outstanding, a solid 10/10 with fantastic variety. The host and servers are genuinely the nicest folks! Shoutout to Albert from Barcelona—your cheerful help made our morning special, thanks so much. I can't recommend Clontarf Castle enough—it's just perfect. Looking forward to May!

Lovely Stay

I stayed here recently with my husband and had a very enjoyable time. Our son had recommended this hotel to us and it didn't disappoint. All the staff we engaged with were very welcoming and friendly. Our room was lovely and the bed and pillows were very comfortable and I had one of my best night's sleep. The food was great, the buffet breakfast was extensive. I look forward to staying here again.

Bank Holiday in the Castle

We booked a night in Clontarf to celebrate the Bank Holiday weekend and our recent engagement. We've had an exceptional time and wanted to highlight the excellent food and service in the Fahrenheit restaurant - our server Sophie was exceptional!
